I planning to buy a air pressure staple gun for a number of projects. There was one on sale that comes with the air compressor. It shoots 18 gauge staples. I looked at the staples and they look really thin. Can that kind of staple work with solid oak?

If you are spending the money for Oak it sounds like you are doing something quite decorative. Perhaps it would be better to consider a brad nailer. They are much less conspicuous. At any rate go with Senco or the like. Stay away from Craftsman. They like to discontinue parts and make you buy new guns. Plus Craftsman isn't the old Craftsman anymore. The final nail in the coffin was when K-mart bought Sears. As for the gauge of fastener, that would depend on thickness and weight of what you are building. 18 is a good overall gauge.

HOW THICK IS THE OAK YOU USING? WHICH GRADE OAK? RED OR WHITE OAK?
HOLD LONG ARE THE STAPLES? HOW MUCH AIR PRESSURE IS AVAILABLE? 18 GUAGE IS REAL THIN--TRY A HIGHER GUAGE---SAY 14--
